OUR PURPOSE

Science and Technology on a Mission

Our defining responsibility has given us state-of-the-art facilities, world-class competencies and a talented workforce, fostering our reputation as a global resource for questions of deterrence and stockpile stewardship. Through that lens of national security, we’ve been able to apply the resources originally used for nuclear deterrence to address the pressing issues of our time. While keeping crucial mission-driven commitments in mind, we apply cutting edge science and technology to achieve breakthroughs in multiple research areas by producing fundamental science discoveries with faster innovation cycles.
